Khalid Peer: The team that assisted me was very assuring that the vehicle will be found. As the car was stolen during the peak of the holidays, it was good to get feedback very often whenever the car moved. I was very happy when Tracetec worked with the SAPS and apprehended the criminals at Villiers Toll on the N3 9 days later. Tracetec kept up the search and tracked the vehicle for 9 days as the vehicle was moved from Isipingo in Durban along the N3 to Villiers in the Free State. The detectives from the SAPS showed me the evidence and how difficult it would have been to identify my vehicle had not the Tracetec team assist the SAPS. Well done Team. By the way, the panel beaters have shown me that the syndicate stripped the vehicle and rebuilt it for 9 days while in hiding trying to find the tracking unit and they were unable to do so. This is very impressive.

MAY 2013

Julia: After a four hour ordeal of an armed robbery in my home, it was comforting to speak to a consultant at 2.30 in the morning who assisted me with tracing my vehicle. Thank you for your prompt service and of course the recovery of the vehicle.

MARCH 2013

Erik Mathiesen: We had an armed robbery on 1 Dec 2012 and our vehicle was taken. It took 3 weeks but Tracetec assisted in arresting two occupants in our vehicle and recovered the car. My wife loved her mini and despite the enormous admin to police clear and get the car from the pound we are very grateful that she has her car back. I was sceptical at first when they could not locate the car in the first week but their persistence paid off and they came through and delivered on their service agreement to locate and recover the vehicle. Thank you Tracetec for find our car and being instrumental in arresting the buggers. Your call centre staff were courteous and helpful and kept us informed. Thanks! [sic]

JANUARY 2013

Johan Bester: Ek wil net baie dankie se vir die vinnige opsporing van my voertuig wat Saterdag aand gekaap is. My innige dank aan almal van julle wat betrokke was (Hope, especially you for keeping me updated the whole time). Ek kan met alle eerlikheid se, ek is BLY al my voertuie is by julle en dat julle beslis die beste is in my oe. Willie, n spesiale dank aan jou, jy het die tag presies op die regte plek gesit waar hulle hom nie kon opspoor nie. Soos die advertensie se, "Give that man a Bells!" Groete Johan Bester

NOVEMBER 2012

Cheryl Fourie: "Thank you Tracetec for finding my car, I felt like I won the lotto when I received the call to say “Mrs Fourie this is Tracetec… we have located your car and arrested one suspect” :)"

OCTOBER 2012

Louise Swart : Thank you for the excellent service. This type of good service is not seen in SA anymore.

OCTOBER 2012

EDDIE UNGERER: We would like to thank all the staff at Tracetec, especially Brian and the ground crew who was on duty Sunday the 1st July, for their speedy recovery of our vehicle and the added service which we received from them. It is heartwarming to know that there are still people that are dedicated to their position in which they are employed and are compassionate under such difficult circumstances in which we found ourselves.

JULY 2012

Aisha Beg: I sincerely thank Tracetec for its assistance in recovering our vehicle after it was hijacked on 23 January 2012. It is through the efforts of Tracetec that the vehicle was recovered within two days of the hijacking. The service received from Brian once we were able to report the matter was good. He kept in touch with us to inform us of the steps being taken in the process. Once again thank you to the Tracetec team for its work.

MAY 2012

Dave Janson: I would like to inform you that I am very impressed with the excellent service rendered by Tracetec in retrieving my daughter's stolen car, and thereafter in the regular follow ups, advice, assistance, etc. In particular, I would like to commend Brian, as the main contact person with whom I dealt in this matter. He was always courteous and helpful, and it was reassuring to know that he was there if I needed his assistance.

MAY 2012

Anonymous : I would like to thank you guys for FANTASTIC service. If I ever require a tracking unit, or know of someone that requires one, you will be first on my list of recommendations. I truly have to say, I can’t remember the last time I received service and assistance from a company like this.

MAY 2012

Anonymous: I’ve never done one of these before, since I’ve never received service like this before! I would really like to thank the Tracetec team. You guys did a fantastic job to a client that never even made a payment to your company. I can’t tell you how impressed I am with you! Thanks so much to you specifically, you really helped a lot with the tracking reports and the follow up emails and calls you made. You have done a super job!

MAY 2012

Cobus Malan: I bought a new motorbike in November 2010 and had a Tracetec tracking unit installed. In the purchase process, the Bike dealership never sent my registration information to Tracetec, which implies I was never loaded on their system and never made a payment to Tracetec. At the end of March 2011, my new bike was stolen. When I tried to activate the tracking unit there was obviously some problems since Tracetec wasn’t aware of my bike or tracking unit due to the bike dealership negligence. I contacted Tracetec in the hopes that they might be able to assist me with this. Even though I have never made a single payment to them, the Tracetec team started investigating the theft. They started tracking my bike and they continuously sent me tracking reports and kept me up to date with the investigation. They also assisted with the insurance claim, sending as much as possible information to my insurer. It is now the 10th of October 2011, and I’m happy to report that with all the efforts of Tracetec my motorbike has been recovered this weekend! I can’t thank the Tracetec team enough for all the effort they did. You guys are doing a fantastic job and really made me feel that someone out there actually cares. Keep it up Tracetec! Regards

MAY 2012

Johann Smith: We would like to extend our gratitude to Tracetec for the efficient way they recovered our vehicle. We were sure that we would not see our vehicle in one piece again. Great was our surprise when you contacted me on Saturday evening advising that our vehicle was recovered and could be collected from the SAPD. Thanks again for the way you kept us informed regarding the status of the stolen vehicle. Much appreciated.
